To the editor: Time for a drum roll! A blare of trumpets! And another fairy story for the reason behind the steady increase of the price of gas.

I bet it will be a good one.

City sidewalks

To the editor: A question about all this waste on Main Street. Is it taxpayers’ money? If it is, it needs to stop.

The city needs sidewalks on Four Seasons and MLK boulevards. People have to walk in the weeds or the traffic and risk getting hit or killed by someone who’s not paying attention or gets distracted. There’s more to the city than the precious Main Street.

Socialism lite

To the editor: Did anyone, in his or her right mind, struggle and suffer through the umpteeth political speech in the past year, and again while listening to the repaving of the talking points in the State of the Union speech?

I tried reading the complete 2000-word-plus Affordable Health Care Act. Much of the same hit the television screen during Barack Obama’s speech. I’ve had root canals that made me feel better.

Citizens of this great nation, gather your common sense. Let’s make 2012 the end of an error. Socialism lite has spoiled.

The ultimate high

To the editor: I’ve been told by people who have done “crack” cocaine that it is the ultimate high. But after the first time they “never” get that high again, they are just chasing that high, wasting lots and lots of money.

But they’re wrong! The ultimate high is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and it’s free and it’s the same high today, tomorrow and yesterday. It’s a high that goes from the time of acceptance throughout eternity if you let it.

Webster describes the word ultimate as “beyond which it is impossible to go; greatest possible; maximum.” When you accept the Lord as your Savior you get this all-time high in your heart and brain, free of charge because He paid the price for all.

So people, forget about the drugs as getting “up there,” and focus on Jesus for your ultimate high. Satan will tell you drugs are the best high, but he is a liar and the father of it. Try Jesus like I did myself and you, yourself, will see that is all there is. Like the Apostle Peter said, “To whom else shall we go?”

Tiny font size

To the editor: I received my new Hendersonville AT&T phone directory in the mail. After vain attempts to read the tiny print of the white pages, the directory went straight to the recycling bin.

I’ll use last year’s phone book until they print the white pages in a larger font.
